Hi h-t

me and a friend are going to be building a crx 1/4 car but for fun ,we still want a qick car but not cost the earth, we were chatting about would it be worth going h2b over h22 ?,were trying to keep the base build to around $8000 plus the car , so would investing in a h2b kit realy be worth extra cost and what sort of time diffrence would there be going from a h22a too a h2b s80 box.
thanks

i personally say yes i have owned both and its a night and day difference

Gsung

mucho thanks for the info

any one els ?

I feel the same way as the guy above. Its like night and day.

Yep I agree, I've had both and it was like a totally different car after the trans change. The h22 trans gets old after a while especially daily driving it, you start to realize how sluggish the gears are out of vtec, now its peppy in any gear at any rpm around town

i've had both....the b trans makes 1st and 2nd useless with street tires, which im all about...night and day difference.

Gsung

ok thanks, so what time diffrence would there be going from a h22 to a h2b.

Krut

The general rule is about .5 quicker in the 1/4 and 5 more MPH but that can vary

Gsung

thanks buddy, that aloy more than i though , looks like h2b it is then

I agree, I've had both as well and the h2b is a much more solid setup. Easier to get parts as well. No sloppy 1-2 shift anymore either...

15.0@200mph

You can always just change the final drive on your H trans that will be just as fast if not faster than H2b, I've done both.

YOU CAN HIT MID 12 TO HIGH 12S WITH SLICKS ON A STOCK H2B. .5+ FASTER THAN A H? H22'S CAN HIT 13S ALL STOCK?? WOUKD LIKE TO SEE THAT

Well yes H22's (with H22 trans) can hit 12's stock..

I ran mid 12's in my 92 civic 4 door. full interior and exhaust. on 25" slicks. stock motor except for a hotshot header and chipped p28. other than that it was completely stock motor.

Our H2B crx ran 12.0 with stock H2B in a Crx. chipped ecu and Ebay header. on 22" slicks.

in comparison our All H22 (H trans) Crx ran 12.5

So yes on average about a .5 difference. lots of other factors can affect this like chassis, weight, mods, Which B trans, final drive..

Overall the B trans will make a very big difference from the H trans.

Its actually more suitable for those who already have a B swap as they only have to buy basically the H longblock and the adapter plate.

But its still worth it for a budget build.

Seriously though if you have $8000 to spend you can go K. More than enough money to build a Very capable K motor. and make a LOT more power than the H2B.

Not a stock K20 but a mildly built K24 with K20 head.

Stock K20 swap is about the same as an H2B powerwise..

K24 just makes a LOT of power.. on fairly simple builds.
